When a teen is growing up there is nothing more important to them in life than their friends. Make sure you know who your teen is hanging around because the type of friends your child is with the more they will follow what the group does. Peer pressure is a major problem when it comes to troubled teens getting in trouble and having problems at school.

If you look at the media today there are many different instances where young teens bring guns to school and shoot their classmates. This is a serious problem and should not be taken lightley.
